lyrics

*Based on Rilke’s Duino Elegies

“Sing to me!” the mountains sing
It’s the summoning of light flickering through the Aspen tree leaves
I believe and you believe in the conjuring of angels
with their terrifying faces and ancient hierarchies

Peace will come and love will come
And up and up and up the wings will fly
Shoulder blades pulled back to raise the spine
Then folding forward they strike the sky

Come with me, belong to me
In uncertainty and anxiety
as the nights are getting long now

We will grieve
The earth was sweet
Yes, we will grieve
The still heartbeat
And crush the stone and gold and bone to soft ground

The blood will run and the waters flood
And up and up and up the smoke will rise
Peace will come and love will come
And run and run and run the tears from eyes

O red rose, I’ll never bruise you again
I’ll never leave you but I’m going away
I’m losing my way
I’m losing my way
Oh, I’m losing my way to you

O red rose, I’ll never leave you again
I’ll never lose you
Now I’m wide awake

I’ve found my way
I’ve found my way
Now I’ve found my way back to you
